A: you shold use reply_markup property in SendMessage function and set it to ForceReply.

A: Hi I hope your doing well, I'm a nooby myself, saw your question and worked a little bit on it and found a way obviously not a professional one but it somehow works
You see the replyToMessageId: works when followed by an integer and all messages on chats are numbered so you can find the number of the message you want to reply and put it afterwards replyToMessageId:
the code below will reply a message previous to the last message Bot.SendTextMessageAsync(e.Message.Chat.Id,"the text you want",replyToMessageId: e.Message.MessageId-1);
